Monday, May 12, 1947 , North Carolina WISS ASSOCIATE * \?.r What Is The Naval Reserve? Following is the second in a series of three articles released by Lt. (jg) Petro Kulynych, recruiting officer for av propos ed naval reserve unit here: The second question usually asked is: What is the Naval Reserve? As we hope to make it, the Naval Reserve is an organ ization of the men of the nation whose mission is threefold?to educate, to train, to build citizenship. The accomplishment of this mission will help to keep the peace of the world. The Naval Reserve?like the modern U, S. Navy is divided into three parts: Air, Surface, and Sub-surface. Members of the Naval Air Reserve receive their training at the two dozen Naval Air Sta tions at present designated for Reserve training. The entire facilities for piloting, maintenance and overhaul of modern Na vy aircraft are made available to mem bers of the Naval Air Reserve. Thus a pi lot?whose original training cost mount ed into the tens of thousands?can pre serve and increase his skill. Mechanics, electricians, radiomen, and aircrewmen ?can keep up with the latest developments in their aviation specialties. The Surface Reserve is, actually, the backbone. For these members there are already in operation, or planned, alpiost three hundred Naval Reserve Training Centers. A typical Center is equipped for military drill, seamanship, recreation, ath letics, and classes, with practical work on operating equipment used in the modern Navy. Both "mock-ups," dummy models, and actual working gear is supplied with experts to explain and conduct practice in their use. Radar sets are furnished not only for operational training, but main tenance and overhaul. The same applies to sonar, attack teachers, radio communi cations. Classes are conducted in carpen try, machine shop practice, metal work ing, supplies and accounts, navigation and the myriad trades, skills, and professions which go to make up an efficient, modern Navy. For members of the Silent Service there are fleet submarines, some with magnifi cent war records, in which Reservists can learn and practice the intricacies of this underwater science. These boats are al ready being assigned to certain Reserve Centers. The membership of the Naval Reserve is divided into two major components: The Organized Reserve and the Volunteer Reserve. Members of the Organized Re serve receive the full pay of their rate for work done. They meet on the average of one night a week in the Training Centers and take an active part in the drills and classes. They also are eligible to take the periodic two-week cruises in Fleet units, receiving full pay for the time. The num ber of men who can be in the Organized Reserve is governed, by the appreciation of the American people of the need for the Naval Reserve, through the amount of money appropriated by Congress for Na val Reserve Training. For members of the Volunteer Reserve, who cannot be paid, all the facilities of the Training Centers are available, and they can go on the two-week active duty cruises, if requested. In all other respects they are the same as members of the Or ganized group. A traffic violator is just a fellow trying to pick his own time and place for com mitting suicide. Should Use Core With Motor Bikes Bicycles equipped with motors have be come very popular as a means of low cost transportation, but unledi operated with extreme care will become a traffic haz ard with many dangers. What many people have failed to rea lize is that operation of the motor bikes is supposed to be in accordance with mo tor traffic laws in North Carolina, and that drivers of motor bikes must be licen se and must know the motor vehicle laws and regulations for traffic. The minimum age for driver license in North Carolina is sixteen years, but from observation it appears that many of the motor bike operators are under the mini mum age law. It should also be realized, that parents of minors are responsible for their acts. Motor bikes on highways are not play things. It would be easy for the operators to cause serious accidents to themselves and others. They are 'often operated at night with inadequate lights and present a grave hazard because drivers of large vehicles have difficulty in observing them in lanes of traffic. If your son is operating a motor bike, it would be to your advantage to school him well with a sense of responsibility and care on the highways. Spelling Contests Should Be Helpful It has been a frequent complaint of business executives and others employing high school and college graduates that they have never learned to spell correctly. In the past several years there has been a tendency on the part of schools not to stress the importance of learning to spell correctly, and that tendency has caused embarassment and loss to many gradu ates. When they take positions wherein they are required to spell correctly, they find it a great loss of time to be continual ly consulting Webster or asking a superior how to spell a simple word. Students should be taught to realize that there are only two ways to spell a word?correctly or incorrectly, and that "close does not count." We extend heartiest congratulations to every student, who won in grade, school or county contests in the recent spelling contest sponsored in northwestern North Carolinq by the Winston-Salem Journal and Sentinel. o ;?

WINGS OF FAITH It's great to rise on wings of faith And soar above the crowds Who doubt the blessed Word of God And live beneath the clouds, Who never bless a sinful world As on life's way they trod, Nor leave their mark when they are gone To glorify our God. It's great to rise on wings of faith When all around there's doubt, And know that God will never fail To lead us in and out, And bless us as we go through life, Whatever be the test, And take us home some happy day Where all is peace and rest. It's great to rise on wings of faith When Satan tempts us sore, And know there is reserved for us Somewhere in God's great store A grand supply of richest grace Which He will soon impart, That shall inspire us on in life In mind and soul and heaj0. It's great to rise on wings of faith When going seems quite hard, And when opposers seem to think Our hope in God is marred; And yet this anchor of our hope Shall never, never fail, Because it reaches up to God Where demons ne'er assail.

AN OLD STORY? A fool sought to trap a Wise Man: "I can ask him a question he can not answer," he told his friends. Taking a small live bird in his hands, and cupping them so as to conceal it he said to the Wise Man, "What do I have in my bands?" "You have a small bird my son," for he could hear it flut ter. "Is it alive, or is it dead?" A crafty gleam came into the Fool's eyes as he asked the ques tion. If the Wise Man had said, "It is 'dead," he planned to open his hands and let it fly away. If he said "It is alive," he planned to throttle the little creature and present it dead. The Wise One said, "That, my son is in your hands." And walk ed away, his reputation for wis dom being fully sustained and the the Fool's folly again con firmed. Support the Y. M. C. A.
